An excerpt from The Case of the Overly Amorous Pollinators:

The Birds and the Bees Gone Amok

A strong mechanical and magically enhanced negative-pressure airflow nearly pushed Debbie inside, while hopefully keeping any stray insects, pollen, or spores from escaping into the wild.

Where chaos immediately impacted all of her senses at once.

Shouting from multiple species in various languages drowned out the typical soothing fan sounds, and a flurry of motion above and around her left Sebbie not knowing where to look.

Instead of the pleasant, skin-relaxing humidity she'd expected, the air felt overly full of...

Something thick and heavy and sticky, which explained the riot of aggressive scents she couldn't help inhaling, which let them coat her tongue and throat.

A storm of orange and soil and rain and cayenne and rotten meat made her feel like she'd fallen head-first into a vat full of compost that had barely started processing itself.
